I've been attending the card show at Harrah's in Kansas City, hunting for more Royals cards. I found a table with two boxes loaded with cards I needed and purchased a large lot from the gentleman. He noticed me using TCDb on my phone and asked what my username was and it turned out that we've been trading with each other over the years!
Fast forward and I ended up visiting his table a bunch more times to look through more of his boxes and purchased hundreds of Royals I needed. It was enough to allow me to hit a massive milestone: 25,000 unique Kansas City Royals cards!
Big thanks to RobDerhak for the huge assist with all the Royals needs. Here's us at the show! (I'm on the left)

How cool to get to meet someone you've dealt with for years, by chance! Even cooler you were able to make a great deal! You never know who is around the corner.

Very cool milestone and meet up.
-------------------------------
Always looking for Blackhawk hockey, Notre Dame Football, White Sox and Bears Stuff. I have a plaque in my card room that says, "I could have been a millionaire but my mom threw out my baseball cards". How apropos!!! Collecting Chicago Blackhawks Hockey, Doug Wilson Hockey, Chicago Bears Older, Notre Dame Football in their college jerseys and Chicago White Sox. |

That's awesome. I've done a few in-person meetups with some fellow members, even sat down for dinner with one and his spouse and I had my kids with me. Wish I could have more of those experiences.

pretty awesome.
wish i knew how many unique Cubs cards I have. I have about 5-6 monster boxes full though. And 5-6 binders. Takes a long time to catalog that much stuff.
